Match Threads Spurs vs Newcastle - Match Thread

[journeyman]

Go for broke from the off here. Verts, Dier and Lo Celso for Sanchez, Sissoko and Lamela

And no Eriksen? The player we need most?

 

[thePessimist]

I know we look shit but some of these comments are apocalyptic. We're missing Alli, Lo Celso, Eriksen and Ndombele - that's probably our 4 most creative players. Poch deserves some criticism for the line up but I don't think we're suddenly a terrible team.

Not the first time we’ve witnessed a first half like that though!

 

[Tucker]

It must be hard work presenting with a cantankerous dinosaur like Souness.

 

[Primativ]

Our style of play is just woeful.


Serious questions have to be asked of Poch now. He’s even making Kane look useless pretty much.

This isn’t a recent thing. We’ve been shocking performance wise since the turn of the year.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Poch needs to make half time subs but no doubt he won’t, can’t keep risking it too late & hoping for the same outcome we got vs Villa

 

[glacierSpurs]

Embarrassing that kane is our best crosser of a ball.

It tells you so much that he has to collect the ball himself from deep. Geez...

 

[yiddopaul]

I think that's hopeful, Eriksen is our most creative player, its becoming too blatant for even Levy to ignore what we can expect to watch without him!

Nothing to do with Levy. Player wants to leave to play for RM or Barca. No amount of money will change that.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Need Lucas an Son to pull wider to stretch them.

Once again the lack of a DM to protect the back 4.

 

[g_harry]

Not looking forward to next week.

 

[haxman]

Fucking shit goal to concede AGAIN

 

[AnotherSpursFan]

no penetration,are they really footballers?
at this rate i can pplay in midfield, just donging it the safe option and stay static

 

[WiganSpur]

Trying to remember the last time we played good football for 70/80 minutes in a match. In the league, I think the Everton 6-2.

 

[Johnny J]

We look like England from about 6 years ago.

 

[PhantoM47]

Maybe it's because I'm in the pub but I don't think that was a bad half. Press was decent. I feel like Newcastle come fairly far forward when they have it, which leaves the counter viable I reckon. Surprised me how far they came out with the ball given the flat back 6 they have when we have it.

Maybe I'm an optimist but I'm not worried yet.

 

[Tonio]

And no Eriksen? The player we need most?

No leave him on the bench. We have to get used to life without him.

 

[Spur4life]

No wonder we need Eriksen. None of our players have any fcuking imagination

And he probably won't be here next week then we are fuc*ed.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Just come home and fortunately, the first half hasn’t recorded so I don’t have to watch it. Losing 1-0 to Newcastle...nothing good must of happened.

There is something wrong at our club. Has been for some time. The style has gone, the passion has gone.

Big half coming up.

Your machine has played a blinder there. Better than Spurs in that 45 for sure.

 

[SpursD22]

Just looking at the bench and we have 1 keeper, 1 CB, 1 LB, 1 CB/DM, 1 DM, 1 CM/AM, 1 AM, 0 attackers


Why does Poch love having defensive players on the bench?? Why isn’t Parrott on the bench???

 

[TropicalYid]

We all know that we need change in second half. Eriksen on. maybe even Lo celso og Jan.
But we also know that poch wont make any subs until 65-70.

Like others on here im starting to doubting Poch` tactics.

 

[TTID2002]

Sanchez isn’t a good defender. Has no aerial awareness or capabilities whatsoever.

Our defense has slowly gotten worse since the first season Poch took over. Gone are the days of us having anywhere close to the best defense in the league.

Get that he wants to make a point with Jan and Eriksen but you have to pick your best team.
